“BikeMaine will showcase the great riding found
here, but it’s more than just a bicycle ride –
it’s a celebration of Maine communities and
exploration of our great state.”

2. Dear Friends,
On behalf of all of us at Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Maine (Anthem), I’m
pleased to share our 2013 Maine Community Report. This report shows how we’re
investing in Maine’s communities and supporting the health and well-being of our
state's nearly 1,300,000 residents.
Serving people to help improve the health of our members and our communities is at
the very core of our mission. For more than 75 years, we’ve helped people in Maine
enjoy happier, healthier lives, and we look forward to continuing this support for
years to come. In 2013 alone, we contributed $1.6 million to more than 75 non-profit
organizations and agencies throughout the state. These contributions were made
up of donations, foundation grants and our annual associate giving campaign.
The giving didn’t stop there. In addition, our associates gave thousands of hours
in community service to support people in need and improve Maine’s communities.
Throughout the year, we volunteered at non-profit organizations, the Boys & Girls
Clubs of America, the Maine Children’s Cancer Program, the YMCA of Southern
Maine, the United Way of Greater Portland and the American Heart Association.
Maine is home to more than 800 Anthem associates. We are your neighbors, friends
and colleagues, working alongside you to help improve the health and wellness of
members of our communities, now and in the future.
Wishing you the best of health,
Daniel P. Corcoran
President, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Maine

3. We enjoy lending a helpful hand
Throughout Maine, you can find Anthem associates helping to fund health programs, working in community
organizations and sharing our skills and education. After all, giving back to our community is central to what
we do ­— and who we are. This is a snapshot of the many ways you can find us serving the people of Maine.
Community Service Day
In April 2013, nearly 75 Maine associates, their families and
friends took part in Anthem’s Community Service Day by
volunteering at local non-profit organizations. In the Portland
area, volunteers assisted with projects at the Ronald McDonald
House, the Boys & Girls Clubs and the Special Olympics bocce
ball tournament. In Bangor, volunteers spent time raking and
refurbishing outdoor spaces at the Ronald McDonald House.
Anthem also offered the Community Service Day event to our
associates nationally. Throughout the day, 3,800 associates,
families and friends worked together to make a difference at
150 non-profit organizations.
Associate Giving Campaign
Every year, our associates have the opportunity to give to
people in need through our Associate Giving Campaign.
In 2013, we collected $140,000 for agencies statewide. In
addition to donations, many of our associates give their time
volunteering at organizations, like United Way’s Day of Caring,
a community revitalization initiative organized by the United
Way of Greater Portland.
Anthem Community Angels
The Anthem Community Angels program recognizes people
who have helped strengthen our local communities. Many of
them helped build playgrounds, led youth athletic games and
regularly volunteered at local non-profit organizations. We
honor these local heroes at Portland Pirates home hockey
games and a $500 donation is made in the honoree’s name
to a health-related organization of his or her choice.
Partners in wellness
We partnered with the Wellness Council of Maine to help
local businesses start or improve their workplace wellness
programs. The goal of the council is to promote healthy
and productive workforces. We’re proud to work together
with the council to develop health programs that keep
employees healthier and keep costs under control.
Fitness at any age
Many people find sports fun at every age. And, thanks to the
Southern Maine Agency on Aging, adults over the age of 50
who live in Maine can keep playing and competing through
the Maine Senior Games. Now in its 28th year, we partner
with this organization to offer the Maine Senior Games and
help older adults have fun and stay fit.

4. Striking Out Cancer in Kids
Last year, we partnered with the Maine Children’s Cancer
Program to support the Strike Out Cancer in Kids campaign.
We brought together local businesses and the Portland Sea
Dogs minor league baseball team to raise funds for kids
with cancer and blood disorders.
Bug Light 5K
In October 2013, Anthem partnered with the South Portland
Land Trust and South Portland Historical Society for the
second annual Bug Light 5K run/fitness walk. The event took
place along a scenic waterfront course and through historic
neighborhoods in South Portland, Maine. Hundreds of people
of all abilities, from competitive runners to leisurely walkers,
joined in to support these organizations.
Biking across Maine
Anthem is a founding sponsor of BikeMaine, a seven-day,
400-mile cycling event that started in September 2013 and
helps support local businesses. More than 350 cyclers started
in Orono, with stops in Dover-Foxcroft, Belfast, Castine, Bar
Harbor and Ellsworth. This event was a huge success and is
expected to grow to 2,000 riders in the future. Each year, the
route will visit a different part of the Pine Tree State.
“We are truly grateful to have Anthem as an
engaged partner in our mission to heal the
child with cancer and to support the entire
family through the difficult journey of living
with childhood cancer."
Matt Parks, Director of Development at Maine Children’s Cancer Program
A focus on public health
Using State Health Index measures, we look at how Maine
is doing in public health areas, like preventive care and
prenatal care. Then, we target our annual giving in the
areas that need the most support. In 2013, we focused
on helping adults and children in Maine:
}} Lower their risk for childhood obesity
}} Lower their risk of heart disease
}} Lower their risk of diabetes
}} Stay more active
}} Enjoy healthier pregnancies and babies
}} Prevent the flu
}} Quit smoking
}} Lower their risk of all types of cancer
We’re proud to say that in 2013, nearly 90% of our local
charitable giving dollars supported organizations that
make positive changes in these areas.

5. Grants from the Anthem Blue Cross and
Blue Shield Foundation
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation
This is a private, non-profit organization wholly funded
by Anthem’s parent company. Through charitable
contributions and programs, the foundation promotes
our company’s commitment to enhance the health and
well-being of individuals and families in the communities
we serve. Beneficiaries of foundation funding include
not-for-profit organizations with projects and initiatives
that align with our Healthy Generations program. For a
complete list of foundation grants, see the back page of
this community report.
Healthier babies in York County
Goodall Hospital received the second part of a two-year grant
to support the Collaboration Allows Real Empowerment
Prenatal Program. The program helps women get better health
care and enjoy healthier pregnancies right from the start. It
helps women who are at a higher risk make important lifestyle
changes, so they’re more likely to have a healthy baby. More
than 750 women in the greater Sanford/Springvale area who
are at a higher risk for pregnancy health issues are expected
to join the program.
Triple Play Youth Program
The Boys & Girls Clubs in Maine were awarded funding to
support the Triple Play Youth Program. This important
program offers age-appropriate after-school programs that
help kids eat better and enjoy exercise.
Healthy habits for life
The Oasis Institute received a grant to support adults over age
50 and children in grades K-5. Through a unique program,
called CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health) Healthy
Habits, the Oasis Institute helps older adults teach children
about healthy eating and the importance of physical activity.
You can find this program in schools and youth centers in the
greater Portland area.
Lowering cancer risk
Our parent company’s foundation is supporting important
cancer screening programs through the American Cancer
Society. This non-profit organization is helping our community
learn why some people are more at risk for cancer than others
and how they can have better health outcomes. Through the
Maine Screening Initiative, they’re also helping people get
access to lifestyle cancer screenings. Our two-year grant to
support these programs began in 2013.
